A 25-year-old party boy with a criminal past has been charged with the murder of a Connecticut man.

James Rackover is accused of killing 26-year-old Joseph Comunale over the weekend. Lawrence Dilione, 28, of Jersey City, New Jersey has also been charged with murder.

The two men are facing charged of second-degree murder, tampering with physical evidence and concealment of a human corpse after they allegedly stabbed Comunale 15 times and then tried to burn his body with gasoline on Sunday.

Dilione is also facing an additional charged for hindering prosecution.
